Basic Pizza Dough

1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
1 Cup warm water (105 -115 degrees)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon honey
1/4 Teaspoon salt
3 to 4 Cups all-purpose flour

1. Mix the yeast and water ina small bowl, cover, and let stand until foany, 5 to 10 minutes.

2. Mix the oil, honey, salt, and yeast mixture in a large mixing bowl. If using a Kitchen Aid, add 1 cup of flour at a time, up to 3 cups, mixing well after each addition. Or mix in all 3 cups of flour by hand with a wooden spoon.

If dough seems too wet,mix in more flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough is soft. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead in more flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until dough is somewhat firm to the touch, about 6 minutes.

3. Lightly grease pizza pans or cookie sheets with oil. If you are making two or more thin crust pizzas,divide the dough.  With a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a floured surface. Gently stretch the dough to fill the pans.

4. Let the dough rise ( it will not rise very much) while you make sauce and continue with the pizza recipe of your choice.
